Will be installing the RSS engine mounts onto my 2009 997.2 CS2. Can someone tell me the torque specs for the engine mount ?

Top bolts are 23 ft/lb
Bottom bolt is 63 ft/lb.
Protip: DO NOT remove the airbox hose from the throttle body. It's a PITA to get back on. Just move the airbox to the right a little bit (after you pop it out of it's rubber peg-mounts) to get the OEM mounts out.

By rotational feel, make sure the square on the bottom of the motor mount is engaged into the square of the engine carrier before tightening.

I have a DIY for 2009 mounts.... see my last post with a vid... yes the hose to the throttle body is a royal pain, but if you see how the hose is designed on the inside, it makes it much easier.

I see all the posts on engine mounts and the issues with the airbox and TB hose. Might be a .1 vs .2 thing but you don't need to remove the airbox to replace the engine mounts. I have done it twice without removing with no issues.
What am I missing. Maybe 3.6 has more room than 3.8?

OP, you'll need to remove the cover but, again, keep the base attached to the TB and just give it a shove.
And this experience is on a 997.2 3.8 so same layout as your car.
You're going to love the difference!
